R 3.0.0 and required rebuilds of all reverse Depends: of R

Mon Apr 1 17:11:04 UTC 2013

Hi Dirk,

thanks for your continuous work on R.  If you feel that the current
point in time (freeze time) is no problem (from my perspective it is OK
- just mentioning it) I think uploading the R packages maintained by
Debian Science and Debian Med is fine.  Please make sure you commit the
changes to the according VCS (ACL permissions are set for DDs for both
VCS).

Kind regards

       Andreas.
